It's roast beef dinner jelly time

Every semester at the dorm of the skinny mushroom there were at least 2 parties which involved these special dinners. The chef would prepare a few special dishes and order boxes of sushi, both of which made me very happy. A popular creation was this roast beef platter with roasted potatoes, carrots and green beans. What amused me most about this dish were the little amber cubes of jelly that were piled up on the slices of beef. No they were not sweet, I'm guessing they were consomme in a more solid form. They were very cute and jiggly and I liked how they were solid soup pieces that melted in your mouth. The plate tended to be a bit on the dry side but drown it all in gravy for a little while and you are good to go. There always seemed to be a tendency, with all of the chefs that cooked for us, to really try hard with creating foreign dishes, mostly western with the exception of the chuukaryourisenmon no cooksan (specialised in Japanese-Chinese cooking) who made Ebi Chilli (I was so happy and scraping up the leftovers that night, so not much different from any night!). I think this was at one of the Christmas Parties. Lots of food and drinks is a recipe for a good time.
